\ according to your calculation, my BMR is 1323. if i cut my calories by 500 minus my BMR (1323), i would only be eating 823 calories a day. please tell me i messed up somewhere :explode:

enter it as strength training or circuit training - i know zumba is a lot of dancing, right?

went to pick up my daughters friend for a sleepover and her 16 yr old brother said "man, your friends mom is hot!" lol. not bad for a 36 yr old, i guess :drinker:

cottage cheese - eat it 5 days a week honeycrisp apples - hate that it's so hard to find decent ones though :grumble: apple cinnamon and caramel rice cakes (even better w/PB)

^^^^^^ this!

i started this journey when i was 34 and now, 2 + years into it, i have kept off my 40lbs and i have never felt better in my life! all it took was diet, exercise and a whole lot of willpower. the beginning is the hardest by far. once you start to see and feel the weight coming off (getting in to smaller sizes), it gets…

keep up the good work! it took me 4 months and 4 5K's to run the entire thing without stopping. WAY TO GO!!!

i wouldn't have even thought that was the same 2 people! way to go! keep up the good work :happy:

"SWEAT IT OUT!", I always say :wink:

i've done five 5K's and STILL haven't worked up to a 10K yet. good job girl!!!

it's never enough. you set a safe goal to start because you're not sure if you can do it and dont' want to be disappointed. then with a lot of hard work and effort, before you know it, you've reached that goal. you start to think "if i could lose 10, 20, 30 lbs., then i can lose 40, 50, 60". it's an endless cycle. :laugh:…

cottage cheese any no sugar added fruit cup coffee

this!

i tried them for about 2 weeks and never noticed a difference in my appetite. i kept them whole, so they added a little crunch to my oatmeal or grits, etc... i guess for their nutritional value they are great, but as an appetite suppressant - not so much :ohwell:

:laugh:

"oh i can't eat 1200 calories a day" boo, hoo, hoo. EAT! :mad:

beginner runner (since May) average 10 miles per week... for now :wink:

this ^

pulling out my old size 12 jeans and comparing them to the size 4's i'm wearing now - that's motivation!

homemade chicken and dumplins - a favorite in my house :love:

try step aerobics. it's constant movement without lots of jumping and it burns a ton of calories.

done. so i didn't use weights but it's a mini-challenge, right :wink:

i was going to say ultimate cheeseburger from jack in the box until i saw everyone else's answers :grumble: now i'm just hungry!

what's a dead lift?

i like the flavor packets. at 5 calories per pack, you just can't beat that! *unless by some miracle, you discover your love for regular water - that's obviously the best choice (insert sarcastic voice here)

some people just don't like the taste of regular water. i doubt that's the advice she was looking for :grumble:

a typical lunch for me: 100 calorie english muffin 2% pepperjack cheese slice - 45 calories 5-6 slices deli roast beef or turkey - 50 calories mustard/pickles special k chips (1/2 serving) - 55 calories or 1/2 cup cottage cheese 90 calories *under 300 calories and delicious! enjoy with a full glass of water, which i flavor…

NSV - non-scale victory!

holy WOW! great job - you look 10 years younger too

"don't cheapen yourself"? wow! really? i'm guessing you wear makeup, right? why not just wear the face God gave you?
